Good Discord alternative for a small gaming group?

Our group of about 15 is fed up with Discord and wants to try something else for voice and game chat. Needs decent voice quality and a phone app. What have people moved to, and was it worth it?

for a small group, honestly try steam's own voice chat before installing anything. everyone already has it, you can make a group chat with voice channels and it's fine for 4-6 people. it falls apart if half your group plays on console though.

for just voice, TeamSpeak is still hard to beat. low latency, you can host it yourself, and it's light on resources. the text side is pretty basic though. Mumble is free and open source if you want something even lighter, but it looks like 2008. if you want text channels and voice in one place like discord, Element (built on Matrix) is the closest, it just takes more fiddling to set up.
